First International Conference on ICT for Health, Accessibility and

Wellbeing (IHAW 2021)

November 8-10, 2021, Golden Bay Hotel 5*, Larnaca, Cyprus

(Proceedings to be published by Springer)

ICT for Health, Accessibility and Wellbeing (IHAW 2021) is the first of the

series of International Conferences on "ICT for Societal Challenges". It is a

showcase for high quality oral and poster presentations and demonstrations

sessions. This conference aims to be a platform for multi and interdisciplinary

research at the interplay between Information and Communication

Technologies, Biomedical, Neuro-cognitive, and Experimental research.

This research includes the design, experimental evaluation and

standardization of new ICT scalable systems and in-silico systems for new

and future inclusive and sustainable technologies that benefit all: healthy

people, people with disabilities or other impairments, people having chronic

diseases, etc. User-centered design and innovation, new intuitive ways of

human -computer interaction, and user acceptance are the topics of

particular interest.

Conference Topics

Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

• AI and Cognition, Cognitive Mechatronics, Human-Machine Interaction,

Cobotics, Model-based design and configuration tools for healthcare and

well-being, AI methods for medical device testing

• Systems for management of health and care (mental health, pain,

neurological disorders, sight, hearing, balance, space awareness; sensory

based physiological and psychological non-invasive measurements,

preventive healthcare, m-healthcare, e-healthcare, integrated care, serious

games, electronic health record, self-management, patient-centered systems

for survivorship, palliation and/or end-of-life care)

• Precision medicine

• ICT for in-silico trials

• Implantable medical devices

• Computational methods for medical device

• Models for human-device interaction for medicine

• Systems promoting access to the socio-economical and cultural

environment

• Age-friendly systems for active and healthy aging (telepresence, robotics

solutions, innovative solutions for independent living, innovative elderly care,

integrated care, age-related risks prevention/detection)

• Multimodal assistive ICT devices to empower people with sensory,

cognitive, motor, balance and spatial impairments

• ICT systems to improve the quality of life and for daily life activities

assistance (education, recreation, and nutrition)

• Smart living homes and wearables (Intelligent and personalized digital

solutions for sustaining and extending healthy and independent living;

personalized early risk detection and intervention)

• New experimental validation methods with end-users

• Standardization, certification, labeling, privacy, security and communication

issues (related to aging well, to sensory impairment)

High-quality original submissions that address such future issues, show the

design and evaluation in (near-) real scenarios, explain how to benchmark

systems, and outline the education and training procedures for acquiring new

perceptual skills while using such systems are welcome.

Research and technical papers are expected to present significant and original

contributions validated with the targeted end-users. Early works and works-

in-progress are invited to submit a short or demo paper.

Submissions should clearly state the progress beyond the existing state-of-

the-art and the expected societal benefits of the developed technology. When

possible, validate scenarios with the target user groups and well-identified

technology readiness levels

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level)

should be at least outlined.

Submissions

We invite three types of paper submissions:

1. Research and Technical papers, up to 15 pages, describing original

unpublished research, making a substantial contribution to the research field

2. Short papers, up to 6 pages, describing original unpublished research,

making a small but solid contribution to the field

3. Demos, up to 4 pages, describing innovative tools that address topics

relevant to the conference

All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted

contributions will appear in the archival proceedings of IHAW 2021,

published by Springer in the Communications in Computer and Information

Science (CCIS) series (https://www.springer.com/series/7899),

and will be presented in plenary sessions of the conference.

The authors of the best papers accepted for IHAW2021 will be invited to

submit extended versions for a journal special issue (currently under

negotiation).

Submissions of all types should be carefully formatted according to the

Springer format for conference proceedings:

https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

and should specify on the first page the type of submission ("R&T", "Short",

"Demo"). The submission process will be handled through Easy Chair and the

submission link is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icihaw2021 .
